According to this year’s report, collision repair-related sales by aftermarket repair shops grew 2.3 percent in 2012 to $39.7 billion. This growth was driven by several factors such as increased number of registered vehicles, increased road congestion causing a higher frequency of accidents per year and the increased collision repair cost per vehicle.  Powered by Nxtbook Media LLC™, this digital publication retains both the traditional design and high quality content of AAIA reports.
